DESIGN FOR HANDLES FOR SPOONS, FORKS, KNIVES, 80C.

Specification forming part of Design No. 10,912,.datcd Novembcr'19, 1878; application filed October 30, 1378. [Term of patent 34; years] To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, CHARLES F. RICHERS, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and original Design for the Handles of Spoons, Forks, Knives, &o.,of which the following is a specification:

Figure lis a front View of a spoon illustrating my design. Fig. 2 is a cross-section of the same, taken through the line av a, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a cross-section of the same, taken through the line 3 3 Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts.

Around the handle of the spoons, forks, 850., to which the design is applied is formed a head, A, extending down to the neck of the handle. At the outer end of the handle begins a scroll, B, which is curved, and passes diagonally across the handle till it nearly touches the bead A at the point C, forming a pear-shaped space between it and the bead A. The scroll B then curves across the handle until it nearly touches the bead A at the point D, and then curves inward and upward until it nearly touches itself, forming a second pearshaped space, and then curves outward and terminates in a spiral.

From the scroll B, at the point C, a scroll, E, inclines across the handle with a gentle curve till it nearly touches the bead A at the point F, and then curves inward and terminates in a spiral. From the scroll E, at the point F, a third scroll, Gr, inclines across the handle with a gentle curve until it nearly touches the head A at the point H, and then curves inward and terminates in a spiral.

Along the bead A, between the ends of the scroll B, is a curved row of small spirals, I, the stems of which start from a short curved bead joining the parts of the scroll B near its ends. Along the outer side of the scroll B,

from its spiral end to the pointD, is a row, J, of dots having a bead along their outer side. Along the middle part of the scroll B, from its lower curve to the point of the lower pearshaped space, is a curved row, K, of dots. In the space between the row of dots J and the head A is an ornamental palmwork, L.

The spaces between the second and third scrolls, J G, and the bead A are filled with palrnwork ornaments M. The space between the beads A, below the scroll G, is ornamented with a fine scroll-work. N. In the outer part of the upper pear-shaped space is a pear-shaped row of triangles, 0, and within the said row of triangles is a stem and leaves, P. In the lower pear-shaped space is an ornament, Q, of scroll and palm work.

What I claim as my invention is- 1. A design for the handles of spoons, forks, &c., composed of the bead A, the three scrolls B E G, the rows of dots J K, the row of spirals I, and palm-work ornaments L M, substantially as herein shown and described.

2. A design for the handles of spoons, forks, 820., composed of the pear-shaped row of triangles O, and the stem and leaf ornament P, the head A, the three scrolls B E G, the rows of dots J K, the row of spirals I, and the palm-work ornaments L M, substantially as herein shown and described.

3. A design for the handles of spoons, forks, &c., composed of the scroll and palm work ornament Q, the head A, the three scrolls B E G, the rows of dots J K, the row of spirals I, and the palm-work ornaments L M, substantially as herein shown and described.

CHARLES F. RIGHERS.
